The brand "Rafael González" was founded in the 1930s.
The Lonsdale was a particularly well-known format of this brand.
In terms of format, it is a Cervante, with a length of 165 mm and a circumference of 16.67 mm (42 ring gauge), but it is much better known under the trade name Lonsdale.
It was the first to bear the name Lonsdale, after Lord Lonsdale, an English sporting aristocrat and well-known cigar connoisseur of the time.
This format designation is used today by a number of different Habanos brands.
A strange English statement on the lid of each box says that the cigars should be smoked within a month of being shipped from Havana.
Otherwise, let them develop carefully for a year.
The Rafael Gonzalez cigars are made with a light-tasting tobacco blend of filler and binder leaves from the Vuelta Abajo tobacco growing zone.
All shapes are made entirely by hand in the "totalmente a mano, tripa larga" process - they are completely handmade longfillers.
Only one is completely handmade, the Tripa Corta - a short filler made exclusively from Semi Vuelta tobaccos.
